transportation safety

at franz building supplies, safety is a priority. goods will only be released if the customer has a vehicle capable of securing the load safely and legally. western australian law strictly prohibits the transport of unsecured loads to ensure public road safety, and we adhere to these regulations by refusing the release of goods intended for unsafe transport.

to assist customers, here are key guidelines:

• for cars (sedans or suvs), loads must not extend more than 1.2 meters beyond the front or rear of the vehicle and cannot exceed 150 millimeters past the sides. roof load limits are typically around 50 kg, including the weight of roof racks.
• for utes, rear loads must not extend more than 1.2 meters beyond the tray without a visible flag or marker. roof racks on utes can generally support up to 100 kg, provided the load is evenly distributed.

it is essential that all loads are securely fastened to prevent shifting during transit. both overloading and uneven distribution can compromise safety and are strictly prohibited under western australian regulations.

Yes, Trex composite decking expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, as with most composite materials. To account for this natural movement, it?s essential to leave a gap between boards during installation. The recommended gap is 5mm to 8mm for end-to-end board spacing and 3mm to 5mm between side edges of the boards. These gaps ensure that the decking can expand and contract without causing buckling or warping.

Millboard decking is designed to last over 25 years with minimal maintenance, maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
